Another Life by Jodie Chapman | Goodreads

Near the dying English seaside town of Ilmarsh, local police detective Alec Nichols discovers sixteen horses’ heads on a farm, each buried with a single eye facing the low winter sun. The two investigators race to uncover the truth behind these frightening and insidious mysteries – no matter the cost. His childhood was very traumatic and one incident in particular was very shocking but it was his complete and utter loyalty to his brother Sal that shone through the pages.Jodie Chapman has managed to capture the essence of that summer perfectly as well as the obsession of first love and forbidden fruit. This is a used book - there is no escaping the fact it has been read by someone else and it will show signs of wear and previous use.

Another Life: Love and division at heart of story of unlived

The Lying Life of Adults follows the fortunes of an adolescent girl through changing family dynamics and growing self-realisation. Back in the 80s and 90s we uncover fragments of Nick’s life as a child, with a bastard of a dad and a mother who disappears - the truth is slowly revealed. After losing touch, their lives continue, each getting into new relationships and getting older but they bump into each other quite a lot during the years. Years later, a tragedy draws Anna back into Nick’s life and as they are unexpectedly reunited they find themselves questioning whether they really could take a chance on another life. In effetti, la sensazione che ho avuto durante la lettura, quanto meno nella prima parte, è stata quella di un forte straniamento.Whilst the author never names the cult as Jehovah Witnesses we learn from the authors notes that is the intended group.
